Important notice for international sellers shipping from the United States to Mexico

Not all shipping options deliver the transit speeds that Amazon customers worldwide have come to expect. For example, a recent study of orders fulfilled by seller shipping from the United States to Mexico showed that approximately 69% of orders shipped via United States Postal Service (USPS), which uses Correos de México/Servicio Postal Mexicano (SEPOMEX) for delivery within Mexico, did not meet Amazon’s international shipping transit time requirements. To provide a great customer experience on shipments from the United States to Mexico, we strongly recommend that you use other carriers (e.g., FedEX, DHL, UPS).
